One of the most anticipated moves of the Chicago Blackhawks' offseason is the return of forward Teuvo Teravainen.
The Finnish winger, originally drafted 18th overall by the Blackhawks in 2012, signed a three-year deal worth $5.4 million per year in July, making him a key addition to the young roster.
Teuvo Teravainen first made his mark with the Blackhawks during the 2015 playoffs, contributing 10 points in 18 games. However, he was traded to the Carolina Hurricanes in 2016 alongside Bryan Bickell in a salary-clearing move that surprised many fans. During his time with the Hurricanes, Teuvo Teravainen became an integral part of the team, posting a career-high 76 points in the 2018-19 season and gaining valuable playoff experience.
Now, Teuvo Teravainen returns to Chicago as a seasoned veteran with 65 playoff games and 39 playoff points under his belt. His leadership and experience will be crucial for the rebuilding Blackhawks as they look to improve in the coming seasons.
